Baranof Island, the last week of August. At Glacier Bay, June 
27 to July 20, a number were seen. <A_ bird-of-the-year taken 
showed that the species nested in the vicinity. 
The four specimens obtained show well the characters of 
fannini as pointed out by its original deseriber (Chapman, Bull. 
Am. Mus. Nat. Hist. XIV, April, 1901, pp. 87-90). I saw the 
type of fannini in the American Museum of Natural History, 
New York, and find that our specimens are extremes of the form, 
showing a very dark slate dorsal surface and dark rufus tints 
on the tibiae and edge of wing. There are several examples of 
this form also in the United States National Museum from the 
northwest coast region.

Lobipes lobatus (Linnaeus). Northern Phalarope. 
Not until July 2, at Glacier Bay, was this bird met with; 
then Littlejohn seeured an adult female (No. 100) in breeding 
dress, which was feeding alone about some seaweed. On the 
tenth of July hundreds were encountered among the ice out in 
the open bay. At Bear Bay, Baranof Island, the last week in 
August Stephens found the northern phalarope common, feed- 
ing on the kelp ‘at mid and low tide; at high tide they stayed out 
in Peril Strait. Four examples (Nos. 142-145) in winter dress 
were taken on August 22. 
Gallinago delicata (Ord). Wilson Snipe. 
A female in high plumage (No. 105) was taken May 4, at 
Windfall Harbor by Littlejohn. The rusty tones of the under 
tail coverts, chest, hind neck, and seapulars are brighter than in 
examples from elsewhere compared with it. The species was 
observed but the onee. 
Tringa canutus Linnaeus. Knot. 
According to Littlejohn’s notebook a number of knots were 
seen among other small waders in a large mixed flock at Wind- 
fall Harbor, Admiralty Island, May 14. They were in full. red,
